Oh look.. There’s millionaire Barry Obama whining again, this time about JD Vance..
He argued that more directly, they continue to debate over voting rights after the Supreme Court ruling on race-based congressional gerrymandering as well as Vance’s political party pushing for a “certain kind of people.”
“We have a politics now that at least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people,” Obama said. “When you have the vice president, current vice president, making a speech that is basically a blood and soil version of ‘We the people,’ that it matters who your parents were and how long they’ve been here despite him being married to a daughter of an immigrant himself.”
He continued, “That echoes, then, ideas about who can be a citizen, who belongs, who gets to make decisions. So all these issues are still being debated, sometimes not as bluntly and explicitly as they have in the past, but they’re still there.”
